This album was recorded in front of 7,000 passionate worshippers at the Bethany World Prayer Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Worship leader and main composer Jonathan Stockstill leads Deluge as they take the listener on a diverse journey, deep into the heart of the band. Elements of "I Believe" are not dissimilar to fellow youth worshippers Hillsong United. From mental anthems ("Crazy") to mellow heart-warming worship tracks ("Open Up The Sky") Deluge have achieved their goal of creating a unique personal encounter while capturing the live feel of congregational worship. The album closer "Make Us Holy" sums up the Deluge message, displayed throughout the tracks, with a strong vibe of honesty and passion.
